Monsoon Poon

Excellent attentive service and recommendations by staff. We had a great experience, everything came out quickly and was delicious! Very happy we will be back!

The staff are very kind and friendly. The portion is enough.

Food was really nice and the service was great.

Tasty food, great service, and good ambience. Cocktails lush! Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food and the restaurant was beautiful and intriguing, plenty of things to look at and admire

Awesome visit to Monsoon had sliders and the lettuce cups - along with the cocktails - Yum then main course the Shaking beef and the Fire cracker chicken - ( you have to really like spice and heat to enjoy the fire cracker ) It was an awesome evening

Great food. Fabulous staff and excellent service. All up a fantastic experience. Thank you Monsoon Poon

Attentive staff and very friendly. Food was soo good, if you up for a challenge have the fire cracker chicken so spicy but so yum when you overcome the spice. Overall lovely night!

Thank you for a lovely meal, nice environment and yummy cocktails.

Our first time at Monsoon Poon Auckland. We've been several times in Wellington and love it.

Auckland was perfect... Lovely atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff and divine food. Thank you for a great meal!

Lovely food with a kick.
Great atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious! So many different flavours to tickle your tastebuds!

It was a fantastic night!
Great food and great atmosphere!

Wonderful experience overall. Great food, smiling and polite service.

This is the first time we've visited and the food is Delish! and service is professional and very friendly.

There is a selection of Indian, Thai and other Asian dishes with unique flavours.

The food is reasonable priced and the atmosphere and decor is great.

Highly recommended!

Excellent service and great food

Really attentive staff, cool atmosphere. Eggplant is a must

Had a great time at Monsoon Poon last weekend. Food and drinks were quick to come out and was delicious. Service was attentive. Singapore Sling was yum :)

Nice staff, nice food,

Great, good time to dine on a Sunday and finish the weekend. The Firecracker Chicken has a decent ‘kick’ to it

Always a great experience for sharing good times with friends, the food is great and the staff and service is excellent every time. Looking forward to next the visit.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food! Will definitely be back.

Great food and friendly service, will definitely be back. Nice to see lots of plant based options.

Consistently good food and service everytime.

Restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and staff were friendly. The food was tasty and have cocktails which were an amazing experience

Amazing... great food and service and a really super restaurant

Great food, excellent service.

Only disappointment is they don’t let you take the food away if you don’t finish it. Seems a waste to just throw it out because of their strict no take away in doggy bag policy, I heard several tables mention this also- seems a waste if it’s just going to be thrown away anyway.

The service was fantastic! Good range of craft beer, wine and cocktails as well as delicious and exiting food. Nice atmosphere and cool to have the open kitchen to see the food being created!

Food was amazing and the waiters had excellent customer service. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely blown away by the food and service here despite going in with a negative bias due to a lot of hype from friends. If I had to fault something it'd be the garlic naan (which wasn't bad) but not exceptional. The food was otherwise really good. My friend was disappointed that they couldn't finish all their food because it was really that good. Special mention for the eggplant side dish and samosas.

The cocktails get a 10/10 from me. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options were very tasty. It's good to see some good creative options on the menu for both. The paper straws were disintegrating a bit quickly though...

The venue itself is very well styled and the small tables are in a nice warm cosy area. Doesn't get too loud, and you're not too close to other tables. Good for conversation.

The staff are friendly and awesome. I'd like to note that they take allergies seriously and even brought up cross-contamination in the deep fryer without being prompted which is incredibly rare. They clearly know what they're doing and I don't think they could do better than they already are.

It has been many years since we last dined here, we were happy to find it’s still a great place to eat! Good value, tasty food, fantastic service and great atmosphere.

We had a great experience at Monsoon Poon. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful in serving us - the food was great and it was a lovely dinner all round.

I had been wanting to come here for a very long time. And it did not disappoint! The ambience and décor was fascinating. The service friendly and prompt. And the food was simply divine! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious! We shall definitely go back again many times yet!

Thank you for a great experience. We were warmly greeted and seated in a lovely spot, service was efficient, staff were friendly, the food was delicious; there was a great range of options, both food and drinks were lovely.

Monsoon Poon was unknown to us but what a treat. The service staff were very attentive and it was great to see the open kitchen and even the mirror above the chefs station where he prepared the dishes. The food was divine and I would certainly recommend the tandoori lamb cutlets, they melted in my mouth. My daughter said the prawns were amazing although I didn’t see them as she inhaled them in a few minutes. All in all I can not recommend this restaurant more. I don’t think it had a single fault and we will certainly be going back. See you soon, Monsoon Poon!
P.S try the chocolate mousse and don’t get caught licking the bowl!

Excellent service from all the staff we interacted with. Food came out quickly but with sufficient pause between courses. Great naan!

From the moment we entered the gorgeous Monsoon Poon, the experience was first class. Extremely attentive, yet not invasive wait staff. A credit to the owner. The cocktails are legendary. The food is fragrant, plentiful and beautifully balanced. Bathrooms are spotless with handwash and lotion adding a nice touch. Can't rave about the place any more. Had been to the Wellington one, so was hoping it would equal it. It did! We will be back.. LOTS...

Friendly and professional service, nice atmosphere and very good food made for a great dinner at Monsoon Poon!

Staff are friendly. Great atmosphere.

Food and service was amazing!

From the very moment we entered into Monsoon Poon we felt the warm hospitality of the waiting staff. They were very friendly and helpful during the whole dining experiencing. Monsoon Poon should be very proud to have such great front of house staff. Now the food was exceptional. Every part of our meal was absolutely delectable. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire dining experience and look forward to returning again soon. Would highly recommend Monsoon Poon to anyone. Totally worth the 2.5 hour drive from Whangarei.

Monsoon Poon has been a favourite restaurant of mine for a fair few years now, never a disappointing experience! The staff are always friendly, we're never waiting more than 5 minutes before we're approached by the waiters and the food is second to none - so affordable for the quality. The sweet chilli eggplant is out of this world - I've tried so many times to recreate it at home but nothing is ever as perfectly crispy, sweet and soft at the exact same time than when the chefs at Monsoon Poon put it together. The shaking beef is also a favourite, delightful and an adventure for the taste buds - SUPER tasty. Would 100% recommend this establishment and will definitely be back!

Food is of top quality, the menu could explain the dishes better. Great service.

Very friendly attentive service. Good sized portions and tasty food.

The most delicious food in a lovely warm, comfortable restaurant. It is wonderful to take the kids somewhere where they are excited about ordering something more adventurous since they know it will be delicious and hear no requests for ketchup!

Nice atmosphere with friendly staffs!
Food was very yum

Lovely evening at Monsoon Poon. The food was absolutely divine, especially the imperial lettuce cups and duck wonton entrées. The shaking beef main was absolutely melt in your mouth - such tender, flavoursome meat. The ambiance inside was warm and the staff were friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

Excellent night - great food and service, a very enjoyable evening

Exceptional service on what was a busy Monday night. Good size servings.

Lovely food, quick service. Great for a easy, quick early dinner
